Leontodon hispidus is a species of hawkbit known by the common names bristly hawkbit[1] and rough hawkbit.[2] It is native to Europe but can be found throughout North America as an introduced species.
It ranked first place among the "non-weed" perennials examined in a recent British study for meadow flora nectar productivity. Its production was almost twice as high as the best-ranking annual that was not considered a weed. Certain plants classed as weeds (including ragwort, bull thistle, and creeping thistle) produced the most nectar of all.[3]
